When Britain really ruled the waves [00:00:10]

In good queen Bess's time [00:00:14]

The house of peers made no pretence [00:00:19]

To intellectual to eminence [00:00:23]

Or scholarship sublime [00:00:28]

Yet Britain won her proudest bays [00:00:32]

In good queen Bess's glorious days [00:00:37]

Yet Britain won her proudest bays [00:00:42]

In good queen Bess's glorious days [00:00:46]

Yes Britain won her proudest bays [00:00:52]

In good queen Bess's glorious days [00:00:57]

When wellington thrashed Bonaparte [00:01:02]

As every child can tell [00:01:07]

The house of peers throughout the war [00:01:11]

Did nothing in particular [00:01:16]

And did it very well [00:01:20]

Yet Britain set the world ablaze [00:01:25]

In good king George's glorious days [00:01:30]

Yet Britain set the world ablaze [00:01:34]

In good king George's glorious days [00:01:39]

Yes Britain set the world ablaze [00:01:44]

In good king George's glorious days [00:01:48]

And while the house of peers withholds [00:01:54]

It's legislative hand [00:01:59]

And noble statesmen do not itch [00:02:04]

To interfere with matters which [00:02:08]

They do not understand [00:02:13]

As bright will shine great Britain's rays [00:02:18]

As in king George's glorious days [00:02:22]

As bright will shine great Britain's rays [00:02:27]

As in king George's glorious days [00:02:34]

As bright will shine great Britain's rays [00:02:40]

As in king George's glorious days [00:02:45]
